A. P. Leventis Ornithological Research Institute (APLORI) is a small institute connected to the University of Jos (UNIJOS), Nigeria. The institute aims to educate students in Conservation Biology, and to be a centre of excellence for Ornithology in West Africa. Currently we are giving courses on master’s level in Conservation Biology, and tailored courses for other groups. PhD students from St. Andrews University, UK, are affiliated to the institute, conducting research on various aspects in Conservation ... [Information of the supplier]

Our research covers plant biogeography ranging from the intraspecific to the community level.
We concentrate on floristics and the mapping of European vascular plant distributions. We also study many aspects of plant chorology including molecular phylogeography, as well as taxonomic studies with particular biogeographic concern. Finally, we apply this research to the needs of conservation.

Mayfly Central is a program, and an information resource. It is located in the Department of Entomology at Purdue University (Lafayette, Indiana, USA). The program is a multidimensional research and education program dedicated to the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge about mayflies (Ephemeroptera). The resource involves information about mayflies, especially the taxonomy of species in North America and Central America. Checklists about the mayflies of North America (636 valid species) and Central ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

The Marine Science Center was founded 2008 and is part of the Institute of bioscience at the University of Rostock. The research focus on sensoric orientations of seals (Pinnipedia) in there natural habitats and possible technical applications (bionics). An unique facility, located at the Baltic sea, serves this purpose. It consist of an huge outdoor enclosure and a modified passenger ship. Several projects examine sensoric abilities of the seals. Many offers are available for visitors.

The Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI) was established as a centre of excellence in applied marine research. TAFI supports the development and sustainable management of Tasmania’s living marine resources. TAFI was established in 1998 as a joint venture between the Tasmanian Government and the University of Tasmania. The expertise and facilities of the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment (DPIWE) and the University of Tasmania are largely complementary. [Information of the supplier]

The term "amoebae" covers an enormously diverse group of protists that have adopted a crawling like method of locomotion. This web site is an attempt to draw together information on the amoeba from the various sources. The literature, especially the older work, have tended to be published in obscure journals and other publications that are difficult to get hold of. [Information of the supplier, modified]

The mission of the Department of Entomology is to conduct research and educate people about the science of entomology, emphasizing the systematics, biodiversity, biology, ecology, and importance of insects and their relatives in relation to human welfare, and the maintenance of a healthy environment.
